JAX-RS interception models were designed to help process HTTP requests
on the client and server in both synchronous and asynchronous invocation
styles, *not* as an alternative to CDI or Spring AOP.

If anybody ever complains that we've overstepped our bounds, refer them
to a blog I wrote over 2 years ago:

http://bill.burkecentral.com/2011/05/24/interceptors-in-jax-rs-2-0/

Also, please refer any public critique of our model to me so I can link
my blog in their blog or forum comment sections.
